Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (May 2026 - Jul 2026).
Year-over-year trends in Rome, IL show a market that has grown more active and more expensive. The rolling three-month typical home value is up about 3% from last year, while the median list price has surged nearly 30%, indicating sellers are testing higher price points as demand strengthens.
Looking at the latest rolling three-month period through July 2026, inventory and sales activity have both expanded. Active listings have climbed more than 130% compared with a year ago, and homes sold and new listings are each up well over 120%, signaling far more movement and options than last summer.
Speed and pricing dynamics tell a mixed story for participants. Homes now sit on the market longer than a year ago at a median of 32 days, yet roughly 56% of properties still sell above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio holds just over 101%, reflecting firm negotiations. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these shifting conditions can use Agent Pronto to connect with a skilled local agent who understands Rome’s current market patterns.

“Kim is very thorough and did an excellent job in marketing my property.”
Wirtz Real Estate Group, Inc.
“We were referred to Tracy in our move from downtown to the suburbs, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She made what can be a stressful process feel easy and manageable from start to finish. Tracy was both professional and personal, detail-oriented, responsive, and always quick to act when it mattered. Her deep knowledge of the local market and strong connections were invaluable throughout our purchase. We would wholeheartedly recommend Tracy to anyone looking to buy a home!”

“Renee is a true professional! She helped us through the complicated process of selling our home while we were out of state. She was always available in a timely manner to answer all our questions and concerns, even through our separate time zones. She was also always helpful in finding us any connections we needed from landscapers, home cleaning, and HVAC services. We 1000% would recommend her to anyone who needs help buying or selling a home.”
Keller Williams North Shore West
“We worked with Andrew McCatty and he could not have made the process smoother! He was very responsive, prepared, and showcased the house spectacularly - we had an offer in 4 days! Andrew worked with Mike to put together the listing and it was excellent. We had an independent appraisal done before we chose the McCattys and we are so glad we got a second opinion. I cannot recommend them enough!”

“Michelle was exceptional throughout the entire home-buying process! She was always on top of the paperwork, deadlines, and everything we needed to get our purchase completed. Her responsiveness, organization, and attention to detail made the process so much smoother. We truly appreciated all her hard work and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home!”

“Catherine Terpstra made herself available to us in our search for a house as we were moving from out of state back to IL. As soon as we contacted her, it felt like she dropped everything "just for us". (We know she was attending to other clinets, as well!) She was very efficient in setting up houses for us to tour, within and without our pricing perameters. She "heard us" in regard to the "non-negotiables" we had for a house for which we were looking. She printed out pertinent infomration on each place for us. We were in a time-crunch, as we had come from out of state to search for a place to live. She was able to help us find a very nice new home. We are very thankful to her for her understanding and expertise in real estate and in the current housing market.”
HomeSmart Connect, LLC

“I previously used Jeffry Phillips to sell a house I inherited. It was a very emotional time and he was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable and gave suggestions of things that could be done to the house prior to selling it. Because that experience was so positive and he was so professional I utilized his services when it was time for me to sell my house. When it came time to sell my home, he was professional and extremely knowledgeable about the Garfield Ridge neighborhood. I would highly recommend him to any of my friends family, and neighbors if they are buying or selling a house.”

There is nothing else she could have done to make me more satisfied with working with her. I have zero complaints.”
